Mild Orange / S/T

On Mild Orange, the band’s sound fills in the gaps between romance-addled dream-pop and slack indie rock, held together by playfully tangled riffs and frontman Josh Mehrtens’ earnest-yet-slightly askew perspectives on love and infatuation. Recalling acts as disparate as Mazzy Star, Jeff Buckley, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, early Coldplay, and Cuco, Mild Orange is the confident work of a band that’s building an international cult following on the back of songs that unfold like secrets shared between friends and lovers.
